This was purchased for my niece and she is excited about using it when her baby is born. This is a very good resource to help moms experience the baby's first year from a spiritual perspective. The facts that 1) it is organized to record activities and thoughts by the week (instead of daily), and 2) the entries are not overly long, make it easier for a mom to work the meditations into the routine of caring for the baby.
